SIGNS OF OBAMA'S TITANIC ELECTION DAY DEFEAT

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V09RaSn5H04/TN6WfFavhbI/AAAAAAAABEQ/GIYeubrGXPc/s1600/titanic+obama+-+sinking_ship_cartoon.jpg#Going down with the Obama ship

David Axelrod wasn't understating Obama's reelection difficulties when he said last fall that his boss had a "titanic struggle" ahead (see). At the time I said that Obama would lose the struggle to his Republican rival because it was too hard for him, and there was nothing of the TITAN in him. There's no Abe Lincoln in Obama, no FDR in Obama, no Harry Truman, JFK, Ronald Reagan, or wonder working messiah in Obama. And after 35 blundering months in office a disillusioned public despairing of the future wants the Great Depressor* gone. For occupying the White House is an intelligent man of little worth with a dash of charisma and charm who lacks the judgment, instincts, character and maturity for the job. A man who fooled an electorate hungry for change with soaring rhetoric and a winning smile that he was some kind of exalted being or avatar; a larger than life figure gifted beyond measure whose presidency would be a defining, epoch making, transformative moment for this country and the world. His grandiosity was breathtaking, but in practice he's been poor disillusioning many supporters including Chris Matthews who's lost the Obama thrill.
 
*Consumer confidence, business confidence, public morale and national spirit and hope are in the crapper because of this president and his depressing, declinst, incompetent leadership.
 
Oh the intoxication of Obamamania fueled to fever pitch by a worshipping liberal media who hyped their hero's virtues and hid his damning faults because they desperately wanted a savior for their leftist world view and destructive statist agenda despite its failure throughout history. Now look at him. Look how far he has fallen from the lofty expectations of his election, a man cut down to size headed toward defeat and political damnation-a fate prefigured when his grandmother died less than 48 hours before his election (see); and when his kingmaker Ted Kennedy collapsed from a LEFT-sided brain tumor at his inaugural after he botched his oath on the word FAITHFULLY (see).What ominously got off to a bad start and has since proved a disaster will now end badly, or perhaps even tragically (God forbid). Look at what's happening before our eyes

Faced with a public whose fear and distrust of the federal government is at near record highs the biggest, most reckless of big government liberals is struggling unsuccessfully to change their minds. "More government is needed to reign in the rich who caused the recession that I can't fix," cries the victim-of-everything-in-chief. "They're undertaxed and over greedy and are making you poorer as they prosper immorally." A message that's not resonating with a public who see a $15 trillion national debt and a coming cataclysmic train wreck, smashing their futures and dreams, uncaused by bankers, CEOs and speculators on Wall Street, whatever their sins and greed.
 
Many conservatives are looking at recent polls and gloating that "class warfare doesn't work." But that depends on whose waging the war. Class warfare worked for FDR in 1936 when he successfully railed against businessman, financial speculators, reckless bankers, and all the rich who were "united in a campaign of hate" against him to keep the Depression going and drive him from power. But Obama's no FDR; unworthy to be a shadow of his shadow he's an ineffective communicator and poor class warfare persuader who can't raise public morale or instill confidence and optimism in the present and future, or make a convincing case against the rich that they are responsible for his economic mess. As I wrote before, "there was more economic optimism during the Great Depression than there is today," and things were dismally worse then.
 
During the Roosevelt era most Americans believed that America's best days were still ahead and not behind them, and that was due mostly to the man at the top who believed in this country and loved it with all his heart. But today engulfed in pessimism and gloom too many believe that our nation's greatness is through, and that too is mainly due to the man at the top who hates this country and its free market system ("it has never worked," says he) and is anti-American at heart.
 
Obama traveling the country trying to win over hearts and minds to the leftist lie that the private sector and free enterprise are the problem reminds one of Woodrow Wilson battling with a Republican led Congress on the issue of America entering the League of Nations. Wilson desperately criss crossed the country trying to win public support for the League with his health breaking down in the end and wanting but failing to get a third term. Will Obama suffer a similar fate wearing himself out and ruining his health trying to deceive his way to a second term? This looks like a tragedy in the making.
 
In case you don't know Obama is the third US President to come directly from the US Senate. The other two leaders Harding and Kennedy died in office the one from a stroke, the other from an assassin's bullet*. But the most tragic sign of all was the first black president kicking off his reelection campaign on the anniversary of Martin Luther King's death.
 
*It is interesting to note that Obama's grandmother Madelyn Dunham was born during the Harding Administration and that she died on the anniversary of Harding's birthday. Amazingly Obama was born in the first year of JFK's presidency.
 
Outside certain polls that have him leading Gingrich and Romney I can't find a single positive sign pointing to Obama's reelection. George H. W. Bush (the last one term President) like Obama defeated a rival who was born during the Depression, and picked running mates whose birthday fell on February 11th*. Like the one term tragic LBJ Obama beat a Senator from Arizona for the presidency 44 years before Obama's less impressive victory (see). And who can forget Obama's own prediction to Matt Lowry that a bad economy in his third year would doom him to a one term presidency-prophetic words I believe.
 
*Michael Dukakis and John McCain were born in the 1930s, the only two presidential candidates of major parties born during the Great Depression. Lloyd Bentsen and Sarah Palin were born on February 11th. 

Moreover, thrice Obama lost his presidential shield, once to thieves and two by "freak accident." And during the terrible month of August (the worst of Obama's presidency) the Washington Monument cracked from an earthquake that originated in Eric Cantor's congressional district-Cantor was in Jerusalem at the time, a place of trouble for Obama as his mideast policies are in shambles and the region is going up in flames.
 
Because Obama is anything but a titanic personality these signs I believe have predictive value. Obama is a fatally flawed and relatively mediocre man* and how his failed presidency will end is in God's good hands.
 
*In comparison to our greatest presidents whose mask he wears now and then. Teddy Roosevelt being his latest disguise. I love what Victor Davis Hanson said: Obama is a teenage president in search of an adult identity. Or as I have said he's the Michael Jackson of American Politics.

Postscript: Ted Kennedy And David Axlerod
 
Ted Kennedy was Obama's kingmaker, and anointed him the "new JFK" in January 2008. David Axlerod was the architect of Obama's victorious four year meteoric rise from the Illinois State Senate to the White House. Both share the same birthday of February 22nd the birthday of George Washington whose monument was cloed down when cracked by last summer's earthquake. Kennedy was born in 1932, Axelrod 23 years later in 1955  The earthquake took place on the 23rd day of August. 23 in the number of defeat especially for Democrats as I showed in my piece THE DEATHS OF TED KENNEDY AND JOHN MURTHA AND THE COMING DEBACLE OF NEW DEAL LIBERALISM.

ROMNEY'S ATTACK ON NEWT'S EXTRATERRESTRIAL CAPITALISM


lunar colony, where's my future, manned space flight 

In defending his job as a consultant with Freddie Mac Newt Gingrich dismayingly sounded like an anti-corporate leftist in attacking Mitt Romeny's irreproachable career in private equity investing, and the idea of creative destruction so vital to progress in an evolving free market economy. But what practically went unnoticed by the media was that Romney had his own anti-Capitalist moment when attacking Newt. This came during Saturday's debate when George Stephanopoulos asked Romney to explain the places where he differs from his rival:
 
 "Let's see--," replied Romney, "-- we can start with-- with his idea to-- to have-- a lunar colony that would mine-- minerals from the-- from the moon, I'm not in favor of spendin' that kinda money-- to do that......." (Laughter).
 
Gingrich then came out swinging with this reply:
 
"I'm proud of trying to find things that give young people a reason to study science and math and technology and telling them that some day in their lifetime, they could dream of going to the moon, they could dream of going to Mars. I grew up in a generation where the space program was real, where it was important, and where frankly it is tragic that NASA has been so bureaucratized, aims at you-- Iowa-- Iowa State's a perfect example.

Iowa State's doing brilliant things, attracting brilliant students. I wanna give them places to go and things to do. And I'm happy to defend the idea that America should be in space and should be there in an aggressive, entrepreneurial way."

In other words, Gingrich wants to bring American industry and enterprise to the Moon and beyond opening new horizons of growth, opportunity and employment for Americans, which Romney opposes because of the costs. But the question is this: is Gingrich's futuristic vision of extraterrestrial Capitalism for exploiting the resources and wealth of outer space realistic? Does it make economic good sense? Or are the costs prohibative as Romney says making Gingrich a kind of candidate moonbeam. The answer is "no" says Rand Simmberg of National Review Online who challenges Romney's view that Gingrich is a pie in the sky visionary and therefore a less sensible candidate for President.
          
                to a lunar mining colony,                   to a lunar mining colony,                   to a lunar mining colony,
                      .

"There are
rare earths on the Moon," writes Simmberg, "which are valuable per pound (a useful trait for a commodity with high transportation costs) and strategically important for the electronics industry, and whose price has been skyrocketing recently due to a monopoly on them by China. Some, such as Apollo geologist/astronaut Jack Schmitt, have long promoted lunar mining as a source for helium 3, an isotope with characteristics preferable to deuterium for fusion (though we don’t currently have the reactor technology for it). But the most compelling argument for lunar mining right now is its ability to dramatically reduce the cost of exploration beyond the earth-moon system by using the water and oxygen trapped in lunar rocks to make propellant — which constitutes most of the mass of the payload for giant rockets such as the planned Space Launch System — as well as for life support. Having propellants in other locations allows full reusability of the vehicles, and could make possible not just the exploration but the settlement of the moon and other bodies. Developing such resources would, in the words of George W. Bush science adviser John Marburger, “incorporate the Solar System in our economic sphere.” That, I suspect, is the vision that Newt has in mind (see)."

Indeed, he does. Gingrich's lunar mining colonies are spot on; and Romney poking fun of him is out of touch with the realities of the Space Age with its huge possibilties for benefiting our economy and that of the world.

NEWT GINGRICH, THE PALESTINIANS, AND THE AUSCHWITZ OF THE MIDDLE EAST

  
http://www.hitlerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/holocaust-image.jpg
The nightmare that Palistinians dream for Israel. This people is Hilter risen from the dead and have no real identity separate from their evil aim of turning Israel into the Auschwitz of the Middle East.

Newt Gingrich ignited a firestorm with his courageous remarks about the Palestinian people last week. Friday Gingrich told
The Jewish Channel"We’ve had an invented Palestinian people who are in fact Arabs and are historically part of the Arab community and they had a chance to go many places. And for a variety of political reasons we have sustained this war against Israel since the 1940s. It’s tragic." Tragic indeed, more so for the Palestinians than for Israeli Jews who continue to suffer socially, politically, economically, and spiritually for their insane hatred of the Jewish State. 
 
And if that wasn't bold and brash enough the former House Speaker (a long time hawkish supporter of Israel) stated in Saturday's presidential debate that the Palestinians weren't a normal, good or moral people, but a "terrorist people" for their vicious support of suicide attacks and terrorism against innocent Israeli citizens for no good and legitimate reason.
 
Quick to condemn Gingrich Saeb Erekat, spokesman for the Palestinian Authority (sworn to Israel's utter destruction with its Moslem Brotherhood partner Hamas) described the comments as "despicable" only serving "to increase the cycle of violence" (meaning that the Palestinians would make Israelis pay for what Gingrich said with a new cycle of missile attacks). Following Erekat Hanan Ashrawi, another top Pali official, said "Gingrich's remarks were "very racist" (meaning it was an attack upon the whole Arab race which can't abide Israel's existence).
 
 
hamas11.jpg
Palestinians playing at suicide bombing Israelis with a future killer for Allah. Are they not one of the worst and most hateful inventions ever made?

Forgetting it was his violently Jew hating organization that initiated the racist war against Israel in 1948 Mohammed Sobeih, a spokesman for the Arab League, said, "If an Arab or Palestinian official said a racist comment that was one-millionth of what Gingrich said, the world would have been in continuous uproar."  So where is the uproar of Arab League members when Ahmadinejad calls for Israel's annhilation? They love every evil word of it as he expresses their savage sentiments perfectly.

And to undermine Gingrich's credentials as a brilliant, first rate world historian pundit after pundit lashing out at him said that the Palestinians were as much a legitimate people as are Jordanians, Syrians, Iraqis and Lebanese, who were invented and didn't exist before the breakup of the Ottoman Empire after World War I.
 
 For Islam's peace of mind that is. World Islam can't know peace until Israel is destroyed, and the Palestinians are its primary weapon.
 
True enough, like the Palestinian people in the 1960s, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia etc., were practically conjured into being out of thin air in the early 20th century. But none of these states were created for the specific purpose of destroying another sovereign state; and that is where Palestinians differ from every other people on the planet. The Palestinians are the wicked creation of Islamic and Arab supremacists (emotionally stuck in the dark ages) who can't tolerate the existence of a non-Moslem state on the Arabian Peninsula-the birthplace and "holy land" of Islam. In reality, as jihadists themselves candidly say,  the Palestinian people are nothing more than the vanguard and primary weapon in the war of annihilation (ongoing for 63 years) to wipe out Israel's catastrophic existence (a catastrophe for Islam as Israel is a refutation of its supremacy). They are in a very real sense a "terrorist people" as Newt Gingrich says. Most Palestinians are poisoned with hatred against the Jewish State-a hatred driven by racism, cultural imperialism, and religious intolerance. Indoctrinated with Jew hatred from cradle to grave, in their homes, mosques and schools, the Palestinians collectively dream the ultimate, inhuman Jew hating nightmare of turning Israel into the crematorium and Auschwitz of the Middle East-killing every Israeli Jew down to the last innocent child in a sacrificial holocaust to their bloodthirsty god (a demon disguised as the Deity, just as Islam's "prophet" was an imposter in disguise).
 
The Palestinians are the stupidest, vilest, and most despicable people on the face of God's earth; and until they wizen up and accept Israel's existence as a Jewish state their quest for an independent state is immoral, illegitimate, and self-destructive as they doom themselves to more failure, tragedy, suffering, and death.
 
LONG LIVE ISRAEL!
 
LONG LIVE THE JEWISH STATE!
 
GINGRICH FOR PRESIDENT!

CAPTURED DRONE SPY PLANE IS OBAMA'S U2 WITHOUT A GARY POWERS, AN OMINOUS SIGN

                              
                                                         U2 spy plane 
   
           
                              Drone unmanned spy plane captured by Iran

Reminiscent of the Cold War incident in May of 1960 when a high flying U2 
surveillance plane was shot down over Russia with its pilot Gary Powers captured by the Reds Iran has captured an unmanned drone aircraft that was on a surveillance mission over that country. The shooting down of the U2 was the beginning of a series of major setbacks for the United States in its international struggle with the Soviet menace. First came Castro's Cuba declaring itself a communist state and aligning itself with the Kremlin and its policies. Then in April of 1961 came the Bay of Pigs fiasco after John Kennedy took office. Two months later Kennedy got his clock cleaned  by Nikita Khrushchev in Vienna; and in early August up went the Berlin Wall dividing the German city into free and commie. The U2 spy plane was launched from Peshawar, Pakistan and was on a mission to photograph ICBM sites and a plutonium production facility. The Drone was launched from neighboring Afghanistan.
 
According to Wikapedia, "The U2 incident severely compromised Pakistan's security and worsened relations between the US and Pakistan. As an attempt to put up a bold front, Pakistani General Khalid Mahmud Arif while commenting on the incident stated that, "Pakistan felt deceived because the US had kept her in the dark about such clandestine spy operations launched from Pakistan’s territory (see)."
 
Reuters reports that according to Bruce Riedel, a former CIA official now with the Brookings Institution, the Drone incident could complicate US relations with Afghanistan, “This crash suddenly puts Afghanistan into the Iran crisis, which will make (Afghan President Hamid) Karzai very nervous and worried,” said Riedel. “He is already a proxy in a war with Pakistan. Now he is a proxy in a covert war with Iran the Afghan people knew nothing about (see)."
 
The capture of the Drone comes in the wake of another serious CIA setback with Iran where dozens of US spies were caught and arrested in Lebanon and Iran (see).

OBAMA'S APPEASEMENT OF MOSLEMS EARNS THEIR CONTEMPT, AND OTHER THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS

 
 
What about flag poles, mushrooms, hot dogs, popsicles, corn on the cob, parsnips, monoliths, unicorns, fire plugs, guys named Richard, Peter, William or Johnson, icicles, pepper mills, stalag/mites/tites, rolls of lifesavers, cacti, rolling pins, telephone poles, Poles, bread sticks, sticks, Lowly Worm, shrimp, lampreys, lincoln logs, bratwurst, dolmas, squid, baseball bats, batons, speed bumps, 10 gallon hats, curling irons, [catches breath], door snakes, smoke stacks, cannoli, jelly rolls, gherkins, sky skrapers, dachshunds, egg rolls, flutes, leeks, tooth paste, Florida, USC, tamales, pogo sticks, cannelloni or Alec Baldwin? Alhamdulillah! Wait, who put the ham in Alhamdulillah?
 
ApolloSpeaks replied to comment from Shalom
 
 

No list of profane objects would be complete without the Washington Monument, Eiffel Tower, and the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings, all of which are just a few examples of architectural phallic symbols.

ImNoDhimmi replied to comment from ApolloSpeaks 

Not to mention the greatest phallic symbols of all, the late, great Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre.

ApolloSpeaks replied to comment from ImNoDhimmi

Very true. The Twin Towers were symbols of America's astonishing economic virility. In destroying them on 9/11 Al Qaida was trying to castrate America.

Come to think of it Moslem women should be banned from attending mosques. What are those tall, slender towers (minarets) but architectural phallic symbols like the structures mentioned above.


The most feared and hated UN Ambassador in US history may become the most feared and hated Secretary of State? I love it! Bring back Rumsfeld to Defense and give the CIA portfolio to Cheney-if he's not up to it give it to daughter Liz.
 
 
Islam's hatred of Jews began 14 centuries ago when the Jews of Medina committed the ultimate sin against the faith and rejected the imposter Mohammed as the last of God's prophets bearing the final and perfect revelation of truth. But don't tell that to fools like Obama, Gutman, Panetta and the rest who think it's all about Israel's conflict with Palestinians, and new construction projects in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. It's Israel's existence stupid; it is a stake through the heart of the prophet and his message causing doubt in believers and anti-Jewish rage. And nothing short of Israel's annihilation or Islam's destruction or radical reformation will end that rage.
 
 
On its English-language Twitter account, the Brotherhood said that its priorities were to fix Egypt's economy and improve the lives of ordinary Egyptians, "not to change (the) face of Egypt into (an) Islamic state." But as this diabolical document says Islam is the ultimate answer to all of Egypt's manifold problems. Unless Egypt is fully Shariaized, and faith in Islam and its global mission invincibly restored, Allah will withhold the full measure of his blessings-which includes prosperity and endless times of plenty. Look at the wonders it worked for Taliban ruled Afghanistan, and what it's doing for Islamic Iran.
 
 
 
Very, very sad. Sadat is weeping in his grave for Egypt, and for the peace with Israel that he sacrificed his life for. Was the sacrifice worth it? You bet it was. It is the only practical model for peace between Israel and the Moslem world.
 
 
 
Doesn't Sirhan Sirhan realize that in protesting his conviction in the death of Bobby Kennedy that he's letting down millions of anti-American, anti-Zionist, Arab/Palestinians (including his parents who praised him for the crime) who regard him as a patriot and hero in the cause against Zionist imperialism? In their eyes RFK deserved to die for supporting Israel, and so much the better if a Palestinian pulled the trigger. If Sirhan continues his campaign of innocence the Palis might not dedicate a street to him when he dies.
 
 
 
PANETTA JUST DOESN'T GET IT
 
He doesn't understand that Israel's sin (its intolerable, unpardonable, unforgivable sin) is that it's non-Islamic; that its existence is a refutation of basic Islamic truths; that it calls into question the Koran as divine revelation and Mohammed as the ultimate prophet of God. Panetta doesn't understand that nothing short of surrendering to Allah, and accepting Islam as the one true Abrahamic faith, will end Israel's isolation in the Middle East and Islam's global war against all Jews.
 
 
 
If women are allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia, warns this cleric, the Kingdom will suddenly be empty of virgins? Does this mean that all virgins untouched by men will miraculously lose their virginity, and female babies will be born non-virgins, as punishment from Allah? Still, I don't get it. If Mohammad's wives were allowed by their husband (Islam's supreme lawgiver) to ride camels and horses (without destroying the virginity of Moslem virgins and newly born girls) then why can't Saudi women drive cars? What was allowed by the prophet should be lawful for all Moslems and respected by all Moslem clerics and rulers, no? Maybe not. In Islam married women are the property of their men and they can do with them pretty much what they please. Damn the prophet and his horse riding wives. If a cleric issues a fatwa banning female drivers because it gives them too much freedom of movement it's the law of God.
 
 
 
For Obama to say that he's Israel's greatest friend (when Israelis despise him like most everyone else in the region) is as laughable as when he said at a townhall meeting in 2009, "Perhaps my greatest fault is that I'm honest to a fault."
 
 
 
Just when Egypt under Mubarack was starting to emerge from the 19th century along comes the Brethren, with the helping hand of Obama and western "progressives," to sweep it back into the Middle Ages.
 
 
 
What's this? NYU is offering a Masterbatory Degree in OWS Zoology, Scatology and Urology? No doubt thousands of leftist jerkoffs will be signing up for this.

BARACK OBAMA'S NEW PATRIOTIC NATIONALISM AND HERBERT HOOVER'S BULL MOOSE PRESIDENCY


gty teddy roosevelt barack obama thg 111205 wblog Obama Channels Roosevelts Populist Agenda: This Is Make or Break Moment For Middle Class

Getty Images


Honest Teddy Roosevelt said, "Speak softly and carry a big stick." Barack Obama believes: Softly speak lie after lie after lie and carry a toothpick.
 
 
Barack Obama after traveling the world apologizing for the greatness, wealth and might of America; after denying our historic exceptionalism, and bowing to kings, emperors and dictators practically vowing (in the spirit of universal equality) to end our days as a superpower, now is a born again patriot wanting to renew American nationalism.
 
Indeed, after failing to be the new Abe Lincoln (the great uniter), the new JFK (the irresistible charmer), the new FDR (the optimistic inspirer), and the new Bill Clinton (the moderate triangulator) Obama now wants to be the new Teddy Roosevelt (the patriotic, America first nationalist)? Imagine this moral weakling leading the charge up San Juan Hill, or hunting lions in the wilds of Africa, or personally making peace between Russia and Japan (Obama lacks negotiating skills)? Indeed, using Teddy Roosevelt as a model this divisive, demoralizing, declinist-this bumbling, ineffective, dissembling teleprompticator-is going to rekindle the American spirit and win reelection as a super patriot? It's completely laughable.  As Obama is a mediocre man with a destructive leftwing agenda that's done serious damage to this nation (and is sinking Western Europe) Teddy Roosevelt is his last desperate ploy to seem greater than he is, more presidential than he is, more truly and patriotically American than he is and deceive his way to a second disastrous term.
 
The truth is this:
 
 
                    We are a rudderless nation 
                         Without purpose and aim
                         Adrift on a sea of growing troubles
                         Recklessly steered
                         By a drunken sailor
                         Into icebergs and storms
                         Staying the course 
                         To disaster.
 
 
 

Four more years of this blundering, incompetent, chaos causing fool and we'll be undone. Thank God we'll have either Newt or Mitt in 2012 to save us from this man. For either one will limit the damage by making him a one term disaster.
 
Postscript I: Teddy Roosevelt and Bull Moose Herbert Hoover
 
It is hilarious to see Obama twist the facts about Teddy Roosevelt who was the leader and presidential candidate of the Progressive Bull Moose Party and not a Republican when he gave his New Nationalism speech. Even more hilarious is the fact the Herbert Hoover, father of the Great Depression, was a rootin tootin New Nationalist, a Teddy Roosevelt man, an ardent supporter of Roosevelt's progressive Bull Moose agenda which he applied in trying to fix the economic mess of the early 1930s. Hoover, ignoring his predecessor's super-successful supply side approach (cutting taxes, spending and regulations) in ending a deep recession with 11.7% unemployment, used big government tax and spend policies instead and made things progressively worse. In 1931 and 32, sounding like Obama, Hoover went on a class warfare offensive campaigning for reelection by calling on the rich capitalists (the 1%) to pay their fair share to lower the burgeoning deficit and pay for his federal stimulus programs. In June of 1932 with unemployment at around 20% Hoover signed into law the biggest, badest, meanest, most senselessly punitive tax increase on the rich in US history raising the top marginal rate from 25% to over 50%. When Obama said back in 2009 that raising taxes on the rich (the employers and producers) was unwise during a recession could it be he had Hoover in mind (see)? For by the end of fiscal year 1933 millions more Americans lost their jobs as unemployment soared to a record high of 25%.
 
BTW, if Teddy Roosevelt were our 31st President instead of Herbert Hoover we would have had the Great Depression all the same as he would have made the very same disastrous mistakes.
 
Postscript II: The Clinton And Eisenhower Eras 
 
It is nauseating to hear this economic illiterate talk about the Clinton and Eisenhower years (he gets this stuff from Bob Reich): how despite the Clinton tax hikes of 1994 the economy soared creating millions of new jobs; and despite a top marginal rate under Ike of 90% the economy greatly prospered in the post-war years. Truth is, the Clinton administration caught the wave of the Internet Revolution, and the booming economy of the 1950s was mostly due to America rebuilding a war ravaged world-the export of US goods and services went through the roof high taxes and all and America boomed. That wasn't the case in the crisis of the early 1930s when class warfarer Herbert Hoover raised taxes on employers, producers and investors, and it's not the case today. In a very real sense Barack Obama is Herbert Hoover reborn.

WAS SYRIA'S BASHAR ASSAD COMPLICIT WITH AL QAIDA IN 9/11?

 
 
 Like father like son. Bashar inherited the terrorist gene from his mass murdering dad.

There wasn't a scintilla of evidence linking Syria with Al Qaida and 9/11 until John Crewdson, a senior correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, claimed to have obtained a "classified report from the office of German Chancellor Angela Merkel" stating (among other things) that Mohammed Atta and the leaders of the mass causality attack placed 66 calls to Syria after they'd arrived in this country. The report was given to Cresson in early March shortly before the eruption of Arab Spring protests against Bashar al-Assad. To date, however, the hijackers connection to Syria has not been explained (see). However, while hard evidence linking Assad to 9/11 is still lacking there are compelling signs suggesting an operational connection in a way similar to my discoveries joining Kaddafy to the Pan Am/Lockerbie bombing (see). But before I delve into these signs let's briefly review what is known about Assad's connection to al-Qaida in the post-9/11 era.
 
Indeed, Syria, which has been on the State Department's list of proactive state sponsors of international terror since 1979 (see), has well known links to al Qaida. Ryan Mauro, assistant director of intelligence of The Counter Terrorism Electronic Warfare and Intelligence Centre, wrote the following about Assad's deadly relationship to Bin Laden's group:
 
"Many international Al-Qaeda plots have Syrian links. The head of the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Groupe Islamique Combattant Marocain, which claimed responsibility for the suicide bombings in Casablanca in May 2003 [killing 45 people], trained in Syria.[8] The prosecutor in the trial of the terrorists who attacked Madrid in 2004 suspects Groupe Islamique Combattant Marocain member Hassan el-Haski of involvement in the train bombings.[9] In May 2004, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's lieutenants and, perhaps Zarqawi himself, held meetings on Syrian territory to plan terrorism in Iraq aimed at provoking sectarian violence.[10] Syria harbored and refused to extradite Suleiman Khaled Darwish, Zarqawi's second-in-command and, reportedly, a liaison between Al-Qaeda and Syrian military intelligence.[11]  (see)."
 
Now if Syria was a stomping ground for Al Qaida in the post-9/11 era then isn't it likely they operated from that country before 9/11 communicating with Atta and his gang while training in America for their suicidal mission? For before 9/11 Al Qaida distinguished itself with deadly attacks against the US such as the two East African embassy bombings and the explosion that ripped a hole in the USS Cole killing 17 sailors. Surely these successful attacks were enough to qualify Al Qaida as a valuable asset (along with Hezbollah and Hamas) to the anti-US/Israel fascist Assad regime.
 
Moreover, Syria is an authoritarian police state where its security forces know practically every member of every terrorist gang in its midst. In other words, those 66 stateside phone calls made to Syria by 9/11 hijackers were most likely received by Al Qaida operatives inside Syria with the blessing and backing of the regime.
 
Now the signs joining Assad to 9/11 are as follows:
 
BASHAR AL-ASSAD'S DAY OF BIRTH
 
This violent, brutal, scheming dictator who is the faithful ally of genocidal, terrorist, 9/11 complicit Iran*, and has killed over 4000 protestors calling for democratic reforms or an end to his regime, was celebrating his 36th birthday when Al Qaida destroyed the Twin Towers in New York and attacked the Pentagon in DC. Amazingly, and perhaps providentially, Assad was born on September 11, 1965 with the 9/11 attack occurring just 421 days from his coronation as Syria's new autocrat**.
 
**Assad succeeded his father as Syria's dictator on July 17, 2000.
 
36 or Jihad Squared
 
In the history of Islamic Jihad going back 1400 years to Islam's deluded, violent, militant founder
there has never been a day of victorious destruction like 9/11. Never on a single day of warfare against infidels have Moslem jihadists wrecked more havoc in lives and treasure than when they attacked and collapsed the Twin Towers and damaged the Pentagon. Apart from 3000 dead the total cost of the event to the US alone was in the trillions (
see).
 
Now as Jihad in mainstream Islam is the 6th pillar of the faith (a religious public duty*) and 9/11 was an act of Jihad raised to a new and frightening degree of violence, terror and warfare it was a day when Jihad in a very real sense was squared multiplying its horrors and atrocities beyond anything previously imagined or known. In other words, in mathematical and symbolic terms 6 being the number of Jihad 6x6 or 36 (6 squared) could serve as a numeric symbol for Jihad on 9/11**.
 
  
**It is interesting to note that Al Qaida, the terrorist group that gave us 9/11, was born on 8/11 in the year 1988. Moreover, the date 8/11/1988 has an overall value of 36 the number of Jihad squared, hence:
 
8+1+1+1+9+8+8=36
 
Now what is fascinating about the 9/11 event coinciding with Assad's 36th birthday (not his 35th or 37th) is that the number 36* (Jihad squared) is a factor of two five digit numbers that give us the exact infamous date 9-11-2001, hence:
 
36x531=19116

36x556=20016  
 
* It is interesting to note that 36 or 6x6 gives us two 6s or 66, the number of phone calls John Crewdson's report says the 9/11 hijackers made into Syria from the US.
 
Now did Al Qaida plan the mass causality attack to coincide with Assad's birthday out of gratitude for his assistance in the plot? Probably not. But the coincidence is amazing and I believe revealing as a providential sign indicating that Assad was complicit in the crime.
 
9/11 AND THE DAY OF ASSAD'S CORONATION
 
As I stated above Bashar al-Assad succeeded his father as autocrat of Syria on July 17, 2000 exactly 421 days before the 9/11 attack. Now in linking Assad to 9/11 the number 421 is significant in that it is a factor of the number 191134 454x which once again gives us the date 9/11 and something more. For not only is 911 encoded in this number but it terminates in the two digit number 34, the numeric value of Bashar al-Assad's name, hence:
 
BASHAR AL-ASSAD*
211819    13   11114=34
 
*Bashar al-Assad is not the only way but the most common way to spell the dictator's name in english.
 
Now while the number 34 is numerically symbolic of Assad's full name and he was born in the year 1965 (the 65th year of the 20th century) it is interesting to note that the number of days separating Crewdson's article from the 9/11 event on Assad's birthday is 3465*.
 
*September 11, 2001 to March 8, 2011 (the publishing of Crewdson's article) = 3465 days.
 
THE DEATH OF BIN LADEN'S UNBORN TWINS
 
Now just as astonishing as the above signs is the mind boggling fact that on September 12, 2010, one day after Assad's 45th birthday and the 9th anniversary of 9/11, Osama bin Ladin (destroyer of the Twin Towers) lost his unborn twin grandchildren in a violent attack on their surrogate mother-hired for the job by Osama's forth eldest son Omar. The surrogate, Lousie Pollard (a British citizen) was traveling in DAMASCUS, SYRIA with Omar's now ex-wife Zaina when she was attacked while walking home alone. I wrote about this incident here as it foreshadowed the death of bin Laden this year. What I didn't realize at the time is that it could be a signature effect from ON HIGH signaling that Assad had a hand in 9/11.

BARACK OBAMA'S JOBS MIRAGE



Obamas Plan to Rebuild U.S. Economy
The economic failure of this profoundly reckless and incompetent president can be measured by the astonishing degree of economic pessimism gripping consumers, employers, and investors. In truth, there was more economic optimism during the Great Depression than there is today.
 
Left Turn writes:
 
"HEY, APOLLO 
 
Did you hear the good news? The unemployment rate dropped from 9% to 8.6%. The lowest unemployment figures since March 2009. Looks like your predictions about a one term presidency are going down the drain. We're on the road to economic recovery and Obama's reelection in 2012."
 
My reply:

Hey LT did you hear the terrible news? The drop in the jobless rate is bogus and due to statistical White House trickery. The unemployed are either looking for work or not looking for work; during the Great Depression both were included in the unemployment roles, in the Obama era they are not. The jobless who have stopped looking for work are excluded by Obama's Labor Department from unemployment statistics. 315,000 Americans who lost their jobs since the 08 crash stopped looking for work last month-the main reason for the drop. To its credit Huffington Post refusing to go along with the pro-Obama spin media called the report for what it is, "A JOBS MIRAGE (
see)." If everyone who lost their jobs stopped looking for work the unemployment rate would drop to zero, and the liar in chief would claim to be the greatest jobs president in US history. If we were to measure unemployment like it was done during the Great Depression we would be at 12% or higher; if the underemployed were factored in (those wanting full time work working shorter hours) it would be over 16% as many economists say (see). In reality we are in a jobs depression. In reality Obama is failing badly. In reality using phony jobs statistics can't put America back to work or save his presidency.

There is a darkening cloud of economic gloom gathering over the horizon with 48% of the public seeing a second Great Depression ahead (
see). No economy can recover with so much fear, uncertainty, and pessimism over the future. Consumers won't spend, employers won't hire, and capitalists won't invest without optimism and confidence in our economy and leaders. The President with his soaring deficits and debt, class warfare rhetoric, and overall economic mismanagement is the GREAT DEPRESSOR and losing the future for America.

THE MOSLEM BROTHERHOOD, EGYPT'S ELECTION, AND THE COMING MIDEAST CATACLYSM

 
http://alternativenewsreport.net/2011/02/07/muslim-brotherhood/heil-muslims/
Nazi like Muslim Brotherhood operatives in Egypt giving the sieg hail to Allah, Islam, and the Koran.
 
Sworn to the utter destruction of the infidel West by collapsing America and Europe from within the formally banned fascistic Moslem Brotherhood is leading in Egypt's democratic election and is on its way to an historic victory. What Hosni Mubarak predicated is coming to pass, "It's either me or the Brotherhood," warned Mubarak who ironically was born less then two months after the Brotherhood's birth in 1928. The Islamic Republic of Egypt seems now to be a certainty as the Middle East's next great Moslem revolution after Ayatollah Khomeine's conquest of Iran. And when did this Egyptian revolution begin? On Februray 11, 2011, the day that Barack Obama (favoring the Brotherhood over Mubarak as Carter did Khomenie over the Shah) forced Mubarak to step down from power when the genocidal mullahs of Iran were celebrating the anniversary of the Iranian Revolution. This was a warning of dark days to come for the region and the world. Just look at these terrible signs:
 
Barack Hussein Obama was elected 44th president of the US on November 4, 2008. This day was the 29th anniversary of the Iranian Hostage Crisis when a gang of radical Islamic thugs seized control of the US embassy in Tehran and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 agonizing days. This was radical Islam's opening shot in its grand jihad against America and the West.
 
Now from Obama's election on the 29th anniversary of the Hostage Crisis to Mubarak's resignation on 2-11-2011 is 829 days, or the 29th number of the 800 series. And from Mubarak's resignation on February 11th to the Egyptian election on 11-28-2011 is 290 days, or the multiple of 29 10x.
 
Could it be that the number 29 is a providential sign indicating what lies ahead for Barack Obama and the MIddle East if its radicalization continues apace? It could very well be. For 29 is a factor of the number 1914 66x giving us the year when Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated and World War I began. Moreover, 66 is a numeric symbol of ALLAH, the Moslem god of war in the Arabic language; and 6 is the number of Jihad (Holy War) being the 6th pillar of Islam.
 
Just as ominous is the numeric sign generated from the multiplication of 29 by 659 and 690. For this gives us the date 9-11-2001 when violent Moslem extremists attacked our country and killed 3000 Americans triggering the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan and the Global War on Terror. 
 
Now as the Iraq War was a kind of Big Bang event in the Middle East which set the stage for the Arab Spring (see) and the political turmoil shaking the region the start of the war on 3-19-2003 is also a date fully generated by the number 29, hence:
 
29 x 11 = 319 or 3-19.
 
29 x 691=20039 giving us the year 2003.
 
This war liberated Iraq's Shia majority from decades of oppressive Sunni rule and led to a deadly sectarian conflict where tens and thousands of Shia and Sunni died-and are dying still. Could the sectarian strife that tore Iraq apart for years (and seems to be returning) foreshadow a wider regional conflict over neighboring Syria (where the Moslem Brotherhood is playing a leading role)? Sunni and Shia forces headed by Turkey and Iran seem to be lining up for such a conflict and could draw in much of the world (think 1914).
 
It is also fascinating to note that 29 is a factor in the number 19285 665x giving us the year the Moslem Brotherhood was born. And it also gives us the pivotal year 1948 when the Jewish State of Israel was born and Arabs and Israelis fought their first major war, hence:
 
29 x 672=19488
 
Moreover, the recent Iranian attack on the British embassy in Tehran occurred on the 29th day of November and is causing a diplomatic earthquake.
 
All this bodes ill for the peace and stability of the Middle East and Obama's reelection campaign. For the inauspicious number 29 generates the full date of next year's presidential election, hence:
 
29 x 4 = 116 or 11-6.
 
29 x 694 = 20126, or the year 2012.

WILL IRAN UNDO OBAMA LIKE IT DID JIMMY CARTER?

 
http://reddogreport.com/2011/03/msnbc-host-chris-matthews-calls-obama-president-carter/jimmycarterbarackobama/ 
 
The Iranian Hostage Crisis, which began on November 4, 1979 and continued 444 agonizing days, was a huge factor in undoing the presidency of Jimmy Carter. Will Iran play a similar role in defeating Barack Obama who was elected president on November 4, 2008, the 29th anniversary of the Iranian Hostage Crisis?

First our gutless, unfit to command, leftist President practically betrays his oath of office to defend and protect the United States against its enemies when he refused to support the Iranian people's democratic revolution against a totalitarian Islamic regime sworn to our destruction, and now this idiocy! Beseeching Ahmadinejad "to prosecute" and bring to justice those responsible for breaking into and vandalizing the British Embassy when it was a regime directed action (see)? As seven months of risky inaction preceded Obama's decision to take out bin Ladin (see) it's now been three years of dithering and pussyfooting with Iran hopelessly hoping that they'll see the light, grab his hand and negotiate an end to their nuclear weapons program. In severing its ties with Iran's central bank David Cameron and the "worst than Satan"  Brits are showing more balls than Obama in punishing the mullahs for building the bomb and sponsoring of global Islamic terror. Bringing down Iran's Islamo-Nazi "DEATH TO AMERICA" genocidal regime must be central to US foreign policy; and must be the position of the GOP presidential nominee in the 2012 campaign.

MILITANT ISLAMIC STUDENTS STORM "EVIL" BRITISH EMBASSY IN TEHRAN



Occupy Wall Street comes to Tehran looting, smashing, rampaging, burning, tresspasing, destroying. Their target Great Britain is said to be a worse evil than the Great and Little Satans (America and Israel) combined. Oh anything, anything to divert attention away from Assad. 

Will Iran's rogue Islamic regime seize the British Embassy, arrest its diplomatic corps and force them to confess to being spys? This is what they did in 2007 when the Revolutionary Guard seized 15 royal marines in Iraqi waters on the false charge that they illegally entered Iranian waters on a spy mission (see). Is the past prelude? Already the Iranian press is calling the embassy  "a den of spys" and Britain "worse than the Devil." This Moslem mob is all psyched up to punish the wicked infidel.

THE ANNIVERSARY OF MUMBAI AND THE NATO KILLING OF PAKISTAN TROOPS

 
PAKISTAN NATO HELICOPTERS ATTACK AFTERMATH 
Anti-US/NATO protesters are fired with rage over the killing of 24 Pakistan soldiers by NATO-on the anniversary of the Mumbai bombings. Hindus would call it Karma: retributive justice.
 
On Saturday November 26th two deadly events occurred in the strife torn Middle East which were thousands of miles apart and unconnected, but perhaps meaningfully related in an oracular way giving us a sign about Pakistan's complicity with our murderous jihadist foes.
 
The first event was in Pakistan where, according to Pakistani authorities, NATO helicopters and fighter jets carried out an "unprovoked" attack on two military border posts in the Mohmand tribal area (a haven for Al Qaida and Taliban jihadists), killing 24 soldiers and wounding 13.
 
The second deadly event happened in the western outskirts of Baghdad where a string of four Al Qaida style terrorist bombings killed 15 people and wounded 30 (see)*.
 
*There was a fifth suicide bombing today killing 19 at an Iraqi prision just north of Baghdad.
 
What I find significant is that both events coincided with the third anniversary of the mass casualty terror attacks that struck Mumbai in 2008 (called India's 9/11 or 26/11) killing 154 innocent people and wounding over 300 (see).
 
This coincidence I believe is significant in that the terrorist group that carried out the Mumbai attack, Lashkar-e-Taiba (dedicated to liberating Kashmir from Indian rule), is based in Pakistan and is believed to, and likely does, have close ties to the Pakistani military and intelligence services (see).
 
Indeed, Saturday's Bagdhad killings reminds us of the Pakistan backed Mumbai attacks in that it was a string of coordinated bombings; and the coincidence of the NATO air strike on the Pakistani bases with the Baghdad bombings on the anniversary of Mumbai gives credence to the US/Afghan view that Saturday's lethal attack on the Paki troops was defensive in nature; that NATO and Afghan forces came under, and were responding to, gunfire originating from the bases; and that the shooters may have been Al Qaida/Taliban terrorists shelterd by the Pakistanis and located inside or nearby the bases. If the shooters were jihadists firing from the bases they probably believed that they could do so with impunity, and that NATO wouldn't retaliate to avoid the political fallout from accidently killing Paki troops. Boy were they mistaken. On the other hand, the Paki soldiers could have fired on the NATO choppers for violating Pakistan airspace. This has happened before (see). 
 
Nevertheless, they must be celebrating in Mumbai thinking that the killing of the Paki soldiers was Karma: retributive justice for the horrific attack on their city three years ago.
 
RICHARD HOLBROOKE'S DEATH
 
Be that as it may, US/NATO-Pakistan alliance is being shattered and collapsing into diplomatic hell-a situation foreshadowed by many signs the most ominous of which was last year's death of Richard Holbrooke. On December 10th Holbrooke (Obama's irreplacable special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan*) fell ill during a meeting with Hillary Clinton and was rushed to George Washington University Hospital. He died three days later from a torn aorta his PAKISTANI born surgeon, Dr. Farzad Najam, unable to save him. It would seem that nothing now can save our relationship with Pakistan (see).
 
*Holbrooke's replacement Marc Grossman has not been able to fill his shoes.
 
Postscript: Vietnam Redux?
 
Taliban and Al Qaida supremacists are praising Allah for this NATO attack and declaring victory. It seems that everything is falling into place for them as a US defeat and the re-Talibanization of Afghanistan are coming closer to reality. Read this article and shudder:

PATRIOTIC 1948 PRO-CAPITALIST CARTOON AGAINST BIG LEFTIST LIE: THE UTOPIAN, CRADLE TO GRAVE, NANNY STATE

 



Got this today from Nanna who said:
 
"What can a cartoon, produced in 1948, teach us today.......? You'd be very surprised!"
 
And was I surprised when I viewed this gem! Watch it from beginning to end. It's even more pertinent today in the age of dumba$$, collectivist Barack Obama and OWS-with their destructive, Greek, socialist vision for America-than it was 63 years ago at the start of the Cold War when Stalin turned his totalitarian soul against America and the West. Lefty sophisticates and intellectuals will laugh at this cartoon with its straightforward message, and deride it as "simplistic" when it's the SIMPLE AMERICAN TRUTH.
 
You can see the cartoon here. It is terrific.
 
http://irishsocialistjournal.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/swp_ie_25.gif
 
Below is the Socilaist Workers Party's radical platform that the pro-freedom cartoon was warning about and fighting against:
 
Socialist Workers Party Platform—
1948
Our vast natural resources and productive plant, the unexampled skill and energy of our workers, farmers and technicians, are the essential elements for abolishing poverty and creating a rational and harmonious society.

At the same time, never have the American people viewed the future with so much un¬certainty  and fear. For our generation, war and depression are the outstanding memories of the past and the imminent perspectives of the future.

The price of a loaf of bread or a pound of meat, the right to speak freely without persecution, questions of war and peace, every aspect of life presents the mass of our people with perpetual insecurity and unending crisis.

What are the reasons our rulers give for this ruinous condition? Since 1914 Democrats and
Republicans alike have been reduced to diverting the people's wrath to a foreign enemy, the
Kaiser and German militarism, Hitler and German fascism, and now Stalin and the "Iron Curtain."
This explanation is repeated by politicians and the government, by the press, the pulpit and the
radio, taught in schools and universities, hammered into the heads of the population by every
technical resource at the command of our capitalist masters. It can no longer deceive the people.

Gone are the days when individuals could carve out wealth for themselves and at the same time
develop the country's economy. Today huge monopolies choke our splendid industrial re¬sources.
But capitalism has not only created these monstrous monopolies. It has also brought into being the
working class comprising tens of millions of people, with a high standard of education, great
technical skills and long traditions of democracy and social equality.

Shaken by the collapse of 1929, this working class has already shown its tremendous capabilities
by its organization of the CIO and the rapid growth of industrial unionism.

The workers are becoming increasingly aware of capitalist inefficiency in the use of resources.
They are beginning to see through the warmongering of the imperialists. They resent the capitalist
cheating of the people by inflation. They know that the Sixty Richest Families of the United
States, like their counterparts abroad, will abandon democracy for fascism at any serious threat to
their profits, privileges and power.

The irrepressible conflict between the monopolists and the workers shakes America with ever-
growing convulsions and inexorably extends into a battle for rulership of the country.

The middle classes, the great mass of agricultural workers and small farmers, are ravaged by the
anarchy of the profit system.

Millions of women bear the burden of a double oppression. Exploited and abused like all
workers, they are also discriminated against and often denied jobs in industry, as well as having
upon them the burden of the home.

The generations of the youth face the prospect of serving in permanent conscript armies and
providing the fodder for a new war. Capitalist corruption bears down with increasing force upon
the high ideals of the professions of medicine, journal¬ism, education and upon the workers in the
arts, sciences and engineering.

Far from seeing any end to segregation, the Negro people have seen the Federal Government of
Roosevelt and Henry Wallace carry the infamy of a Jim Crow Army to every quarter of the globe.
Tormented by these conditions, the oppressed classes and groups are looking for a way out.
There is no way out for them except to follow the leadership of organized labor. On the day when
the working class can assure them of its determination to end capitalist anarchy and chaos, the
rule of the capitalists is doomed.

The capitalists know this. That is why they concentrate all their power and energy to crush the
growing challenge of the working class. The Taft-Hartley Act, the Mundt Bill, the Committee on
un-American Activities, the preparation for transforming the FBI into a Gestapo, militarization of
the country, the strangling of liberties traditional in the United States since the beginning of the
Republic—this long train of abuses and usurpations reveals that their aim is to subject the working
class to an absolute despotism, the sole guarantee of capitalist rule in its period of decay.

Twice our people have faced a similar threat. Twice they have known how to meet it.

In 1776 the farmers, mechanics and artisans, led by revolutionists such as Sam Adams, Jefferson
and Washington, destroyed the power of the British ruling class who sought to crush the birth of a
new nation.

In 1860 William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips, John Brown and Frederick Douglass,
Abraham Lincoln and Thaddeus Stevens, personified the forces which waged merciless war
against the slaveowners' attempt to perpetuate their outmoded system, halt the expansion of our
economy and destroy the liberties of our people.

The Socialist Workers Party, in these years of decision, comes forward as the continuator of
these revolutionary traditions. The socialist revolution is even more imperative for the salvation of
the U.S. than was the Civil War and the War for Independence.

The Socialist Workers Party warns the people that the present struggle is so deeply rooted in a
bankrupt economic system that it must end either in the complete destruction of civilization or in
the socialist reconstruction of society under the leadership of the working class.

Let him who dares, face the workers and farmers and tell them that they do not possess the
knowledge, the will, the physical and intellectual resources, and the political capacity to pull this
country back from the brink of the abyss to which monopoly capitalism has led it. The Socialist
Workers Party bases itself upon its supreme confidence in the creative capacities of the working
people.

The Socialist Workers Party presents itself under the banner of Marx and Engels, Lenin and
Trotsky, Debs and Haywood. Their banner is our banner. These great leaders of international
socialism were animated by the conviction that unless the tremendous powers of modern industry
were taken over by the workers of the world, society would collapse into barbarism. The state of
the world today is proof of how correct they were.

Genuine labor politics, however, can have nothing in common with the politics of the Democratic
and Republican parties. Against the back¬ground of national and international crisis, in¬creasing
numbers of the American people view their antics with indignation and disgust. These parties are
bi-partisan in foreign policy, bi-partisan in their devotion to capitalism, bi-partisan in their
incapacity to cure its evils, bi-partisan in their assault upon the working class and the civil liberties
of the American people. The only difference between them is the dispute over who can best
secure the privileges and the pilfering which fall to those who administer the capitalist government.

These two parties would long ago have been repudiated and abandoned by the working men and
women except for the treacherous and opportunist practices of the top union leaders, who are
tied to the apron strings of the capitalist politicians and act as apologists, recruiters and vote-
solicitors for them in the ranks of the workers.

The party of Henry Wallace represents nothing but an attempt to exploit the disgust of the people
with the Democrats and the Republicans. The Wallace party is the unashamed champion of
decaying capitalism. Claiming support as an anti¬war party, its leader, Wallace, has betrayed the
struggle in advance by declaring his readiness to support the projected war when it breaks out.
Wallace's stock-in-trade is a recitation of evils without one single concrete proposal to mobilize
labor's strength against monopoly capitalism, the source of all the evils he criticizes.

The Communist Party (Stalinists), which is supporting the Wallace party in this year's election, is
interested in the class struggle only insofar as it can be exploited to advance the interests of the
arch-reactionary Stalinist bureaucracy in the Kremlin. When it serves Stalin's purposes, as it did
during the period of the Stalin-Hitler Pact, the American Stalinists talk class struggle, support
strikes, pay lip-service to the need for socialism, etc. And similarly, when it serves Stalin's
purposes, as it did during the wartime period of the Washington-Moscow alliance, the American
Stalinists advocate class collaboration, "national unity," cessation of labor and Negro struggles,
strike¬breaking, etc. In their case they remain instruments of Stalin's reactionary foreign policy
and must be seen as enemies of the workers' true class interests and revolutionary socialism.
The Socialist Party of Norman Thomas pretends that war can be stopped by the United Nations
just as it pretended that the war could be stopped by the League of Nations. While denouncing
war in general it is no less ready to support World War III than it was to support World War II.
It seeks to reform and not to abolish capitalism.

The Socialist Workers Party alone consistently and unconditionally champions the interests of the
workers in their struggles against capitalism, and works to organize them for its abolition. This
goal is expressed and concretized in the Socialist Workers Party's fundamental objective in the
1948 campaign—the mobilization of the masses for a Workers and Farmers Government.
Such a government, based on direct representation from democratically elected councils of
workers, farmers, housewives, soldiers and minority groups, will initiate the reign of real and
complete democracy in every sphere of life. It will take over the means of production, expand
and coordinate them in a planned economy, and create the conditions for permanent prosperity. It
will end the rule of coupon-clippers and put the former capitalists to work at honest toil. Its
victory will bring peace and harmony to the United States by doing away with the material cause
of class divisions and therefore of class conflicts. The victory of socialism in the most powerful
country will serve as an inspiring example to be quickly followed by the rest of the world.

Only a Workers and Farmers Government can reorganize our crumbling society on a rational
basis and bring that new birth of freedom and prosperity which is socialism.

Only a Workers and Farmers Government, pledged to irreconcilable opposition to every vestige
of monopoly capitalism, can prevent a Third World War.

The program, the platform, the policies and the methods which we advocate will be realized
through the formation of a great independent party, led and organized by the working class,
including all those tens of millions whose basic hostility to capitalism needs only this leadership to
achieve full consciousness and resolute action. Such a party, embracing the productive, social and
political activity of the vast majority of the nation, is today the guarantee of democracy. By its
mere existence it will be an invincible safe¬guard against totalitarianism in any form.

The platform of the Socialist Workers Party is not designed to patch up the dying capitalist
system, but to protect the interests of the toilers against the brutal aggressions of their capitalist
enemies. It is an election platform, to be sup¬ported by the ballot on election day, but it is more
than that—it is also a program of action to unite and guide the struggles of the workers on a year-
round basis. Its effectiveness depends not only on the support it receives in Congress and other
legislative bodies, but even more on the extent to which it receives support from the masses in
their daily struggles in the factories, in the unions, etc. Its aim is to organize and mobilize the
working people for the part they are destined to play in the march to a better world.
In line with these fundamental objectives, the Socialist Workers Party advocates this platform:

1. foreign policy
Take the war-making powers out of the hands of Congress! Let the people vote through
nation¬wide referendum on the question of war or peace! No secret diplomacy! Withdraw all
troops from foreign soil! For the complete independence of the colonial peoples! No confidence
whatever in the United Nations, dominated by despots of every variety and designed to spread
the illusion that peace is possible under capitalism! Full solidarity with the revolutionary struggles
of workers and farmers in all lands—those dominated by American imperialism as well as those
dominated by reactionary Stalinism! For the Socialist United States of the World!

2. labor's standard of living
For the inclusion in all union contracts of an escalator clause (also known as the sliding scale of
wages or automatic cost-of-living bonus) to meet the rising cost of living, with the safeguard that
wages shall not fall below the basic rates established in the contract! For the application of this
principle to wages of all government employees, veterans' allotments, old-age allowances, old-
age pensions and social security. For the establishment of price control, to be regulated and
enforced by mass consumers committees of house¬wives, unionists, working farmers and small
shopkeepers! For the 6-hour day, 30-hour week, with no reduction in pay! For unemployment
insurance equal to trade union wages!

3. labor and civil rights
Repeal the Taft-Hartley Act! No government interference in union affairs! No restrictions on the
right to organize, strike and picket! No compulsory arbitration! Repeal all anti-labor laws! Down
with government by injunction!

An end to red-baiting, witch hunts and political persecution! Withdraw the "subversive" blacklists
used for political persecution of government and other employees! Abolish the House Committee
on un-American Activities! Defeat the Mundt Bill and all other measures to totalitarianize
American politics! Liberalize the election laws which discriminate against minority parties through
excessive petition requirements and subject them to arbitrary exclusion from the ballot! Old
enough to be drafted, old enough to vote! Safeguard and extend the Bill of Rights!

4. rights of minority croups
Smash the Jim Crow system! Full economic, political and social equality for the Negro people
and other minorities! Pass and enforce legislation to punish lynching, abolish the poll tax, establish a Fair Employment Practices Committee with power to root out discriminatory practices,
eliminate segregation wherever it exists! Combat anti-Semitism in all its forms! Wipe out
discriminatory immigration policies and open the doors of the U.S. to refugees! Unite the workers
of all races for the common struggle against their exploiters!

5. farm policy
Establish a federal farm program to guarantee the cost of production to working farmers and to
be operated under the control of their own representatives! Expand rural electrification! No
limitation on crops! A federal program for soil conservation and flood control! No taxes on
savings of cooperatives! A federal ban on all speculation in farm commodities! Abolish
sharecropping and landlordism! The land to those who work it!

6. military policy
Against a permanent conscript army! It is necessary to establish a system of military training,
financed and equipped by the government, but operating under the control and discipline of the
trade union movement! Abolish the officer caste system in the armed forces! Full democratic
rights for the ranks in all the services, including their right to participate in politics and public life,
to elect their own officers, to organize along union lines and engage in collective bargaining!
Abolish race segregation in the armed forces! Trade union wages for the servicemen!

7. housing
The Federal government must be forced to declare a state of national housing emergency and to
initiate a program to erect 25 million permanent low-cost, low-rent housing units! Nationalize and
operate under workers' control all feeder industries which provide building materials! Operate this
housing program through a government planning board of outstanding architects, engineers and
representatives of the workers in the building trades! Finance the program with the billions now
spent for war preparations! Homes, not atom bombs! Clear the slums! Restore rent control,
under supervision of tenants committees!

8. taxation
Repeal all payroll taxes! Abolish all sales taxes! No taxes on incomes under $5,000 a year! A
100% tax on incomes over $25,000 a year! Tax the rich, not the poor!

9. government ownership of industry
Nationalize the basic industries, all war plants, all natural resources, and operate them in the
interests of the producers and consumers by democratically-elected committees of workers and
technicians! Nationalize the banks! Institute a planned economy of abundance, based on
production for use, not for profit!

10. independent political action
Labor must break all ties with the capitalist parties—Democratic, Republican, Wallaceite! For an
Independent Labor Party based on the trade unions and embracing the working farmers, Negroes
and veterans! For a United Labor Conference, with representation from all unions, to launch
labor's own party and run labor's own candidates for office!

For a Workers and Farmers Government!

MOROCCO SLOWLY DESCENDS INTO ISLAMIC RADICALISM, AN OMINOUS SIGN

 
A voter casts her ballot at a polling station in Rabat November 25, 2011.  REUTERS/Stringer 
Moroccan woman casts vote for Sharia supremacist party after intimidated King cedes some power in fear of Arab Spring turmoil coming to his land.

The death star of monstrous, murderous, jihadist Islam continues to rise with little opposition over the darkening Middle East with its latest electoral victory (after Tunesia) in "moderate, pro-Western" desecularizing Morocco. This turn of events is ominously symbolic and not to be taken lightly as Morocco is America's oldest friend having recognized our new Republic in the revolutionary days of 1777 (
see).
 
Islamist party claims Moroccan election win
 By Reuters 11/26/2011

Moderate Islamist Justice and Development Party says it won the largest number of seats in parliamentary elections (
see).
 
"MODERATE ISLAMIST JUSTICE AND DEVELOPMENT PARTY?"
 
Meaning what? That they aim at Islamicizing Morocco: to develop toward an oppressive totalitarian Sharia state of absolute 7th century Islamic justice (intolerance, bigotry and hate) carefully, steadily, nonviolently, deceptively through the democratic process by slow degrees (their moderation) just like Hitler's Nazi party in Weimar Germany. These are the smart, plodding, more rational jihadi supremacists, and therefore the most insidious, deceitful and dangerous.  Their influence is spreading like cancer throughout the Western world with help from useful leftist imbeciles, blind conservatives, and our Defender of Islam in Chief who has a hidden agenda for making America more Islamic through mass immigration (see).
 
 
Postscript I
 

It will go both ways. As the Anti-American Fringe Spring of deranged leftist Occupiers become more violent and extreme Islamists in Egypt will remember their militant American student allies and urge their US partners to join the fascist anti-Capitalist cause and grow the violence here at home.
 
 
Postscript II: The Rape Of Lara Logan And OWS
 

I wonder, if the Arab Spring was the inspiration for Occupy Wall Street could it be that the rape of Lara Logan in Tahrir Square earlier this year was the inspiration behind all the rapes at OWS camps?
 
 
Postscript III: Moslem Inferiority Complex
 
If Islam is the true religion of the one Supreme Being then why are Moslems supremely intolerant of unbelievers? Why do they demonize, trash, and humiliate them? Why must they conquer, dominate, and control them? Why all the hatred, bigotry and curses hurled at them? Doesn't that show weakness of religious faith? Lack of spiritual certainty? Doubt in the premise of moral superiority? Could it be that Islamic supremacism masks a Moslem inferiority complex? Or inferiority without the complex?
 
 
Postscript IV:

9/11 is seared into the minds of these violent al-Qaiada lovers as one of the greatest days of Islamic jihad in Moslem history, and they are hellbent on repeating it a thousand times until we're totally obliterated. With all these bloodthirsty supremacist killers and devils, HOPE SPRINGS INFERNAL.
 
 
Postscript V: Islam, Vampirism And Cruci-phobia (fear of the Cross)
 

I wonder, could there be a connection between the popularity of vampirism and this growing epidemic of cruci-phobia? Or is it just that Islamists are bloodsucking bats?
 
Crombrouke writes

"ApolloSpeaks

Islam as vampirism? Now there's a thought!

- They can't stand the sight of the cross.
- They gorge themselves with blood.
- They live in darkness.
- They're obsessed with cutting the necks of their victims (Koran 47)
- They prey on young maidens and
- They can't stand the name of Jesus."

Apollo responds:

This should silence the sceptics who deny the existence of vampires, and think that they're creatures of folklore and myth.

 

Postscript VI: The All American Moslem TV Show
 
 
Moslem Americans who are American as apple pie are more American than Moslem putting their Americanism above Islam and freedom and tolerance above Moslem medieval law. How many Moslem Americans do that I wonder? How many are at peace with this country and its Judeo-Christian-Classical tradition of faith, reason and freedom, and are opposed to Islamizing and ruining us? I don't have an answer, but I do know this: our Islamo-supremacist enemies are hell bent on making it zero. They are intent on saving every Moslem in this country from the "corrupting evil" of Americanism, the hope and glory of the world. And that is intolerable.
 
 
Postscript VII: Muhammed Yusuf Pimentel
 
 
Muhammad Yusuf's blog is pure, simple, unvarnished Islam without disguise, deception, or taqiyya. Moreover, he saw himself as an Islamic legion of one (a one man army of God) backed by centuries of faith driven bloodshed and millions of murdering warriors. With so much glorious history behind him, and corpses of infidels piled up to the sky, how could he be wrong about living to kill and die for Islam?

HOW AMERICA'S LOVE AND ADULATION OF JFK KILLED HIM: REFUTING FRANK RICH AND THE HATE DRIVEN LEFT

 
http://www-deadline-com.vimg.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/frankrich.jpg
Frank Rich: rich in falsehoods and fantasies about the death of JFK.
 
Apart from the supreme role Providence certainly played in the death of the charismatic, patriotic, anti-communist JFK* (see), love and adulation of the New Frontiersman was the overriding mundane factor. Indeed, Frank Rich and the America hating radical Left-going back to James Reston in the sixties-cling to the persistent, laughable, easily refuted fantasy that an undercurrent of right wing vitriol and hate, causing a toxic climate in Dallas, Texas, is what ultimately killed JFK, when in reality the opposite is the case (see). In reality, before Kennedy's death the national mood (as I vividly recall) was one of near intoxication: the American people were soaring with optimism, hope and patriotic fervor due mostly to JFK's pro-American, nationalistic, inspirational presidency. In reality, it was Kennedy's great success in Cold War politics and morale boosting, visionary leadership that ultimately did him in. In other words, it was the great love, good will, and adulation he enjoyed, deserved and basked in that tragically killed him.
 
*I will show in a future piece that Kennedy's death was not in vain. That it triggered a train of national events that made Ronald Reagan President and ended the Cold War.

Indeed, after Kennedy's much praised victory in the Cuban Missile Crisis, where he got the crude Nikita "we will bury America" Khrushchev to remove long range Soviet missiles from Cuba, his worldwide popularity alarmed and horrified the Kremlin, Havana and communists everywhere as he was seen as a menace to their totalitarian program. Americanism under Kennedy had dealt a sharp blow to Soviet prestige and international communism and the Reds were white with fear that he was turning the tables on their plans for world conquest. And one such paranoid and frightened communist thug was the pathetic leftist loser Lee Harvey Oswald, a trained marine marksman with an ideological sword who was hell bent on killing the evil capitalist Kennedy (to save Castro and communist Cuba) and did so singlehandedly.

The truth is this: if on November 22, 1963 an armed Lee Harvey Oswald and the Book Depository were on 5th Avenue in Liberal New York City looking down on JFK's motorcade, the day that shook the world would have happened all the same.
 
It is the leftist climate of anti-American hate and demonizing of the Right that morally consumes radicals like Frank Rich and causes pundits like him to write such absurd and childish stuff about Kennedy's death where the word "communism" is only mentioned once (and not in relation to Oswald). It is hilarious to read Rich saying that his adolescence ended with JFK's death when he's been suffering from an infantile mental disorder (liberalism) throughout his adult life and into old age.
